This morning I was reading a devotion about things that people believe. Rather, the way Christians beliefs have changed. This came from the Barna Poll. Anyway, I thought it was really sad the things people start to convince themselves that is true.
Half of Americans who call themselves "Christian" don't believe Satan exists and fully one-third are confident that Jesus sinned while on Earth, according to a new Barna Group poll.
I just think that this is scary. People go to church, supposedly read the Bible and still think that Satan does not exist?
Another 40 percent say they do not have a responsibility to share their Christian faith with others, and 25 percent "dismiss the idea that the Bible is accurate in all of the principles it teaches," the organization reports.
WOW! So they never mention to anyone EVER that they are Christians or offer a caring loving word about God. Life is full of problems, and I run into people that are troubled daily. Having any type of conversation with them how can you not mention you'll pray for them or offer some kind of hope.
"Americans are increasingly comfortable picking and choosing what they deem to be helpful and accurate theological views and have become comfortable discarding the rest of the teachings in the Bible," he said.
"In the past, when most people determined their theological and moral points of view, the alternatives from which they chose were exclusively of Christian options - e.g., the Methodist point of view, the Baptist perspective, Catholic teaching, and so forth," Barna noted. "Today, Americans are more likely to pit a variety of non-Christian options against various Christian-based views. This has resulted in an abundance of unique worldviews based on personal combinations of theology drawn from a smattering of world religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, and Islam as well as secularism."
Unique! You have to be kidding me. It is not Unique guys it is foolish. Be very careful making up your own made up beliefs. Satan is alive and well.
